Thank you for the kind comment.
The wagon body is a 3D print that I had done by Shapeways from my own artwork. One end was badly printed so rather than throw it away I decided to use it as a grounded body in the goods yard. Carefully removed one door and replaced it with an open plasticard version.
The "back story" to justify its existence there is that it was one of the first lot of covered vans built in February 1878 (so over 25 years old) on a wooden underframe. It was involved in a shunting accident at the station which unfortunately badly damaged the underframe and some bodywork and completely destroyed one of John Clarke's privately owned wagons. By way of some form of compensation John acquired the van body to replace a tumble down shed that he was using as an office at the station. It is somewhat unfortunate that all records of the accident have been lost through time, so I am unable to relate what else if anything was damaged in the accident or who was driving and firing the engine on the day in question
